Zugang
access
The German word 'Zugang' is used in a similar way to the English word 'access'. It can refer to physical access to a location, such as a building or room, or it can refer to digital access to a system or file. It is often used in the context of providing or granting access, such as 'Der Zugang zum Gebäude ist nur mit einer Zugangskarte möglich' (Access to the building is only possible with an access card).
Example sentences using: Zugang
Bitte gewähren Sie mir Zugang zu diesen Daten.
Please grant me access to these data.
In this phrase, 'Zugang' is used to mean 'access', which is its most common use. 'Zugang gewähren' translates directly as 'to grant access'.
Der Zugang ist wegen Bauarbeiten gesperrt.
Access is blocked due to construction work.
In this sentence, 'Zugang' is being used to represent a physical point of entry. This could be a door, a gate, or any form of entrance. Here, it is used to suggest that the 'Zugang' (access or entry) is blocked due to construction work.
Sie benötigen einen speziellen Zugang um diesen Raum zu betreten.
You need special access to enter this room.
In this example, 'Zugang' again means 'access'. It is used to say that special access is required to enter a particular room. This could imply that one might need special permission, a keycard, or some other form of access to enter.
